Back in the 1960s we wrote about the then epidemic of appointed and elected government officials abusing their access to sirens.

"When she speaks," says one, "you are wondering if she is serious or touched in the head." General Fred Lim said, "Well, how do you catch a fish except through its mouth." And yet another says, "It’s really funny, you’ll die laughing."

Indeed, it only hurts the most when we laugh.

Was the Sandiganbayan "influenced" by Malacañang? Was a "deal" struck between Erap and the Palace? This will be argued noisily till kingdom come.

Whatever really occurred sub rosa, Realpolitik suggests it’s best to get Erap out of the country – for his sake, but, more importantly, for ours.

Soledad, 35, a hearing officer of the National Police Commission in the Cordilleras, said their family would not retaliate contrary to speculations that her husband’s supporters would avenge his death.

"Saan kami nga agibales (We would not take revenge)," she said.
